Technically, that's a Draken and technically, that's my car. I have the 4 door, one step below version.

Yes. Donivanp SAAB stands for "Svenska Aeroplan Aktiebolaget", which translates to "Swedish Aeroplane Company Limited". It was a division formed to build cars. They were assigned project numbers 90 to 99 and that's where the early Saabs got their names. The 900 and 9000 were marketing. When the next-gen 9-3's came out, our club joke was they should be called 9million. Currently Saab also builds many other military products such as anti-air and anti-tank systems. Viggen means thunderbolt and it was considered for "Stormy Weather".
